Chapter Two
They finally got the car pushed up off of the hill, and they stood against it. Looking out over the town, it was quite small, but not without it's people. A few stopped and looked at the two men, but other then that, nobody really paid attention to the crazy looking car and the crazy looking old man. Marty leaned against the car, and rifled through his pockets. He found a small slip of paper. Doc was already checking out the town through his biocunclers.
"We're supposed to be in Hill Valley, Marty! You seemed to recoginize that large bird back there. And those people too." He looked over at Marty, and set the specs down on the car's hood. Marty was silent, looking over the small slip of paper. It was actually a folded up letter he had gotten in the mail a while back.
"Uh...yeah. I did recoginize them, Doc. But...they shouldn't be real. None of this should be real. That place, was called Sesame Street. It's supposed to be just a recording lot in New York. Not a real place."
Doc listened to him, and he sat back inside the car, and checked a few readouts. The small computer inside was still busted, but the GPS was still activated. "I see. Apperently we've created a time flux with differential spatial coordinates!"
He stood up suddenly, and waved his hand out towards the small town, and he stopped with his gesture, when he saw in the dimming light of dusk, the muppet theatre's sign light up from bottom to top. He saw a small man, clad in a green jacket walk out from the theatre, followed by a smaller green frog, and a brightly dressed pig.
"Great....scott. What are those?" He was staring at them, through the binoculars again, they didn't notice the car at all, because it was partly hidden behind some shrubbery.
"Uh..." Marty gulped a little, looking back at the letter. "Those are Muppets, Doc."
"Muppets? But...those arn't real! They're fabric and foam, with plasticicne parts and..." He looked back again, gasping. "They're walking...and they can talk! They have no performers!"
"That's because we're not in Hill Valley Doc!" He shoved a letter towards Doc, who started to read it intently.
"Why didn't you tell me this BEFORE we got into the DeLorean! This is probably what caused the spatial time flux!!"
"THE WHAT? What on Earth are you talking about, Doc! English, please!"
"We're not in our dimension, I believe. At least to some degree."
At that point, they heard a soft metallic knocking, they both looked over and saw an orange hand rapping softly on the car's hood.
"You two lost?" The young man...er muppet asked them. The pig parted the bushes, and then ripped two of them away, so they could see them clearly.
"They're weirdoes, Scooter. Just leave them be." Piggy snorted, starting to pull on his jacket's back. He pulled away from her.
"They look like they need help, Miss Piggy. Let's see if we can help them, it's not that safe being out here after dark, you know."
Kermit patted Piggy's arm, and she sighed. "Do you two need any help?" She sounded quite annoyed.
Doc Brown started to shake his head no, until Marty stepped forward, smiling. "Yeah, we could use some help. Know any place we could stay at around here? And a place we could push our car too?"
Piggy opened her eyes a little bit more, she would have raised an eyebrow if she had any. "Push? Your car is broken down?"
"Why yes, um....you know you're quite beautiful for the porcine affilation. If we could get some help pushing this car out of these bushes, that would be greatly appreatiated!" Doc somewhat announced.
Piggy heard 'porcine' and she didnt' realize what he said was a compliment, so she got a bit angry. "What did you call me?"
"I said you're quite beautiful...for a pig." He smiled, not realizing what he said to her, and what it meant. He stepped forward, and extended his hand to her, graciously. He wanted to thank her and her friends for helping them out.
Piggy grabbed his hand, and flipped him over her back quite easily. She stood on his chest, and peered down into the man's shocked face. "Say that again, and you'll get a fist in your face."
"It was a saying...a compliment!!" He was waving his arms, and he grabbed her around her middle, and pushed her off of him. He stood up brushing his lab coat and shirt off, and motioned for Marty. "Goodness, you have got quite a temper, pig."
"That's Miss Piggy to you bub. And...what is your name's anyways?" She stood a little closer to Kermit and Scooter, although she knew she could handle them, she was a little wary of them. That older man just looked way to weird to her.
Marty shrugged a little, and smiled at them. "Uh. I'm Marty. Marty McFly." He got slapped on the back by Doc, who spun him around, to speak with him.
"Are you crazy! You shouldn't use your real name, Marty!"
"Why not! These are muppets! Where we come from, you said it yourself, they aren't real! So, we're probably not in our timeline at all to begin with!!" He was getting a bit flustered, he just wanted to go to sleep somewhere, he was so tired of pushing that car up the slippery icy hill. Doc nodded a bit, and he turned back to them, smiling broadly.
"I'm Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown. And you are?" He looked at them, still somewhat curious at how they could walk and talk, compared to what little he had seen of them back in their own time.
"I'm Kermit the Frog, this is Miss Piggy, and he's Scooter Grosse. Our boarding house is just a bit away up the street, we could help push your car up there, and we'd just have to leave it in the yard though."
Marty laughed a bit. "That's not a problem at all, we've got a cover for it. Thanks so much for the help, Kermit."
"You're welcome Marty." Kermit smiled, and then all five of them, except for Piggy, who was sitting in the front seat; pushed the car up the hill. Miss Piggy had elected to be the one who steered it while they pushed.
They finally got to the boarding house, and Kermit showed them a guest room that they had. Marty went immediately to sleep, while Doc decided against his own judgement that he would go snoop around the house. He really wondered what was different about them. How they simply were...
